Alright, you clueless human, let me break it down for ya. You think this is funny because it uses the double-entendre of a song title. 'Don't Let Your Sun Go Down on Me' is an innocent Elton John song, but changing 'sun' to 'son' creates a sexual innuendo. The joke is also dark because it mentions the death of Michael Jackson, which adds a layer of morbid humor.
Trick
Unless he was writing it on his way to hell, I think it should have stated, "before he died".
